Beth Teshome
0207 284 2444, by appointment, 215 Chalk Farm Road
A graduate of the London College of Fashion, Beth Teshome has been perfecting her unique variety of
'Camden Couture' since her label's debut in 2000.
Her extravagant fusion of colours and textures has attracted celebrity fans ranging from Sophie Anderton to
Mariah Carey, and since setting up her Camden Lock studio in March of this year, Teshome has channelled
her life-long love of fashion and her affinity for the local area into a prosperous stand-alone venture.
Bla Bla Hospital
34c Stables Market. The brainchild of Ako Moffat, Blablahospital first started 'admitting patients' to its Camden clinic in
2005. As head nurse and designer, Ako discovered her label's current home by chasing a cat into
the Stables market, instantly falling in love with the area’s community and atmosphere. Her artistic
vision instils in her a need to cure the fashion-sick people of London with playful and funky attire.
The 'First Aid' version of Blablahospital could once be found in Spitalfields and Portobello Markets,
but the label has now found its spiritual home in Camden. The collections have been described as
'hospital style without the fetish feeling'. In a technique she describes as 'build, break then treat',
Ako creates her abstract, one-of-a-kind collection with garments individually crafted by hand.
Boon Boutique

Together with his sister Pannada, he opened up a successful stand at London's fashionable Portobello Market in Notting Hill which later led to two store openings in Camden, one on the High Street and the other in the Stables Market. Boon's collections has become very popular in London's most revered venues, including Movida, Penthouse and Aura, and to please our customers a keen eye is always kept on what's hot and what is up and coming to always ensure up to date and cutting edge styles in the Boon collections.

Founded by Camden-based designers Natalie Tubeileh-Hall and Naomi Brons-Harper, Harper N Hall's collections are sold extensively through concessions in Primrose Hill, Notting Hill, Kensington and Sloane Street, as well as internationally. The upmarket boutiques in which the pieces are sold have given Harper N Hall enviable access to a high-profile clientele, including an A-list fan base. Harper N Hall's quintessentially British jackets, coats and skirts imaginatively combine wildly different fabric patterns and textures, while subduing the effect with classic lines and clever tailoring to suit all women regardless of shape, age, or size.
Hearts and Guns
07729 285 541
Recent fine art graduates Laura Powell, Lizzie Sykes and Colette Cummings have stumbled upon a niche in the clothing market. Utilising vintage and retro fabrics and unique designs, the 'Hearts and Guns' clothing range offers not only comfort and wearability but one-off works of art adorned with original applique additions. The success of the 'Hearts and Guns' clothing range emerged almost over night when the girls started making garments for themselves. The more they wore their own clothes, the more the demand grew for custom-made bespoke garments. From there they progressed to distributing their collection into retail outlets in their home-town of Huddersfield. They have since plunged into the Camden Market scene and the girls can be found at the 'Hearts and Guns' stall on Camden Lock Market most weekends.

Koru Greenstone
07909 675 370
Upper Market Hall Gallery, Camden Lock. Offering spiritual and symbolic jewellery sourced from the other side of the world, Koru Greenstone was
founded in 2005 by John Cordara, a former fashion buyer and producer of film events and premieres.
Starting with nothing more than a budget of £3,000 and an intense vision, Cordara has since channelled his
passion for traditional New Zealand jade carving into creating the biggest collection of greenstone jewellery
outside of mainland Europe.
Cordara's interest in greenstone carving took shape during an extended trip to New Zealand, where he was
instantly mesmerised by the spirituality and message behind the country's 1100-year-old traditional carvings.
He began to learn the methods for himself and brought his newfound expertise back to the UK, opening his
first stall in Camden Lock soon after his return.
